WHAT IS IT ABOUT ?

IT literacy is a critical skill for enhancing economic progress, for
individuals and communities in Africa.
AIESEC Africa designed a program which enabled high school
students to gain IT skills, focused on their productivity, job
readiness, and ultimately, quality of life (EAP Program)

It is run in 13 universities across Nine countries (Nigeria, Ghana,
Ivory Coast, Togo, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Cameroon, Tanzania, and
Kenya)

Here in Ghana it is run in two AIESEC Universities (AIESEC CUC & AIESEC KNUST) where the children undergo training in Information and communication learning

Project Objectives

To provide information technology knowledge to some of our
high school youth who may not have the accessibility to
computers up till an older age.

Involving high school teachers in the training of their students in
their schools providing them with the needed skills to disseminate
the information to the rest of the students.

Providing students with a very exiting and quality and diverse
cultural platform to gain computer skills while learning about
different cultures and leadership skills
